A Study of LY4395089 and Mirikizumab (LY3074828) Given Together and Mirikizumab (Alone) in Adults With Crohn's Disease
This research study is investigating new ways to treat Crohn's disease, a condition that causes inflammation in the digestive system. We are looking at adults who have moderately to severely active Crohn's disease. The main goal is to compare how safe and effective a new drug called LY4395089 is when given alongside an existing treatment, mirikizumab, compared to mirikizumab on its own. Researchers hope to find out if combining these two treatments could offer better results for patients. This study is part of a larger research programme and will involve participants for about 62 weeks to carefully observe the effects of the treatments.
At a glance
What is this study about?
Crohn's disease is a long-term condition where parts of your digestive system become inflamed. This can cause symptoms like tummy pain, diarrhoea, weight loss, and feeling very tired. While there are treatments available, researchers are always looking for new and better ways to help people manage their condition and improve their quality of life.
This particular study is focusing on two different treatments. One is mirikizumab, a drug that is already being studied and used for inflammatory bowel diseases. The other is a new drug called LY4395089, which works in a different way in the body. The researchers want to see if giving these two treatments together could be more effective or safer than just using mirikizumab by itself.
By taking part in this study, you would be helping doctors and scientists understand more about Crohn's disease and how these new treatments might work. The aim is to find better options for people living with this condition, potentially leading to new ways to control symptoms and improve health in the future.
Key takeaways
- This study is testing a new combination of drugs for Crohn's disease.
- It aims to see if combining two drugs is safer and more effective.
- Participants will be adults with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease.
- The study involves regular clinic visits and lasts about 62 weeks.
- You will receive study medication and have regular health check-ups.
Who may be eligible?
To join this study, you need to be an adult between 18 and 80 years old with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease. If you are taking certain medications for other conditions – like those for diabetes – you might still be able to join as long as your dose has been stable for some time before the study starts.
However, there are some reasons why you might not be able to take part. For example, if you have liver disease or another bone condition that affects how your bones work, this study might not be suitable for you. Also, if you've had certain heart-related events in the last six months, such as a heart attack, stroke, or heart failure requiring hospitalisation, you wouldn't be able to join.
It's important that you haven't received or are planning to receive any other medications that the study rules say are not allowed. The research team will go through all these details with you carefully to make sure the study is safe and appropriate for your health.
Could this study suit you?
Answer these quick questions to see if you may be eligible. This is a guide only — the research team makes the final call.
- Are you an adult aged between 18 and 80 years old?
- Do you have moderately to severely active Crohn's disease?
- Have you been diagnosed with liver disease or certain bone diseases?
- Have you had a heart attack, stroke, or heart failure requiring hospitalisation in the last 6 months?
- Are you able to commit to around 14 months of regular clinic visits?
What does participation involve?
If you decide to take part, the study will last for approximately 62 weeks, which is about 14 months. During this time, you will have regular visits to the clinic where you will receive the study medication. Mirikizumab will be given either directly into a vein (intravenously) or as an injection under the skin (subcutaneously), and LY4395089 will be given as well. You'll have various tests and check-ups at these visits to monitor your health, how the treatment is affecting you, and if your Crohn's disease symptoms are improving. This will likely involve blood tests, physical exams, and discussions about your symptoms. The research team will explain the exact schedule of visits and what each visit will involve in detail.
